Entrepreneurship Minor Requirements

The Entrepreneurship Minor

The entrepreneurship minor is available to any undergraduate student other than those majoring in business, accounting, or economics, or minoring in business. (Business school students who are interested in entrepreneurship can take the Entrepreneurship concentration offered by the Management Department.) This minor is specifically designed to provide non-business school students with knowledge and training that will allow them to practice their (non-business) major studies within start-up and small business environments. Entrepreneurship, innovation, and design are inherently multi-disciplinary topics and complement many other courses of study. Therefore, the program integrates business foundations with entrepreneurship and innovation skills. Students who pursue this minor will learn how to integrate their primary areas of study with knowledge from the courses in this program to broaden their thinking, and enhance their creativity and problem-solving skills.

Students in the Entrepreneurship minor are required to take the following six courses: 

• Fundamental business knowledge (three units):

  • ACCT 201 Fundamentals of Financial Accounting

  • ECON 101 Principles of Microeconomics

  • MKT 320 Principles of Marketing

• Entrepreneurship and Innovation (three units):

  • MGMT 247 Introduction to Entrepreneurship

  • MGMT 351 Managing Innovation

  • MGMT 352 New Venture Creation

Note: MKT 320 and MGMT 247 prerequisites BUAD 202 and ECON 102 will be waived for students pursuing the entrepreneurship minor.
